The Last Continent

Canada, 2007, 106 minutes
Directed and produced by Jean Lemire

With a passion for discovery and for Earth, the crew of the scientifically equipped sailboat Sedna IV present their experience of the Far South, the Antarctic. In the remoteness that is unique to this untamable continent, they confront the long austral night and live in the rhythm of the explorers of yesteryear, whose fate was ruled by the seasons. During 430 days, the crew of scientists, sailors, filmmakers, cooks, engineers, and health professionals live in isolation from the civilization they knew in urban Quebec, and risk being changed forever. The Last Continent is their eloquent testimony of a natural world that silently faces the great planetary changes awaiting it.
